Nothing to report except the weather
Feb. 12th, 2025 04:45 pmIt's not light at 6am in the forest, but it's not quite as dark. Robins singing challenges not only to each other, but also to Night and to a tawny owl. The days are lengthening again, creeping towards the equinox.
If only the paths had not been churned to ruts, puddles & pitfalls by the recent logging, I could switch my torch off on my walks.
This week has been very drear. ("Dreary" is not powerful enough. It has to be "drear".) A high pressure system stuck overhead, bringing us grey featureless days, a few degrees above freezing. The wind in the east, theoretically, but it, too, seems overwhelmed by the gloom, can't even be bothered to stir the branches.
